Officially, it is "Willis Tower" since Sears lost the title. But it will always be known as "Sears Tower" because they built it.

Sort of like the far less impressive US Steel Tower here in Pittsburgh. I don't think US Steel even has an office there anymore. It is mostly a collection of high price lawyers.

It was finshed in 1973 as Sears Tower and remained thus until 2009 when it was leased by Willis Group. I walked by it everyday going to work and I (along with just about everyone else) will always know it as the Sears tower. It is taller than original WTC.
